Lunchbox Love

With my little guy heading off to Kindergarten this Fall, all I can think about is sending him off to big boy school with lots of love.

I thought it would be fitting to create a few little love notes to stash in his lunchbox.  He enjoys receiving cards (and making cards) almost as much as I do.  So, imagine his surprise when he gets a special note from from Mommy & Daddy.

Each note card is made with the Friends Rock stamp set and the Rockin' Wheel. 

Playing along with the CAS challenge I made my cards clean & simple.  Not too many layers and easy to recreate. 


See one more shot of this trio in my card gallery.

For the challenge, we used these colors:  Only Orange, Tempting Turquoise, and Yo Yo Yellow.  All three of which belong to the Bold Brights Stampin' Up! family.  I find that these colors are versatile enough to work for a boy or a girl. 

I'm so excited to write my first note and tuck it along with his PB&J.

Rockin' Wheel

 My 5 year old son rocks! 

I wanted to make him a card to tell him exactly that.  What better stamp sets to use than Friends Rock and the Rockin' Wheel?

Using Mojo Monday's Sketch #95, I started playing with my new goodies.  It all started with my favorite card base - Kraft cardstock.  Ahhh ... the love I have for Kraft (we'll go into that a different day).


Rarely do I play with masculine color combos, but I tried my hand at it using Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry.  I have to say I'm quite pleased with the results.  FUN FACT:  Crushed Curry is my favorite new In Color.

Check out that fun designer paper peeking out from beneath the main image.  That's the new Storybook Specialty paper.  It was the first thing in the 2009 - 2010 Idea Book & Catalog that I HAD TO HAVE. 

One side of the Storybook paper is covered in bold colors and fun prints, while the other side is like a coloring book.  Check it out!  I am so over the moon with this collection!  Coordinating colors are Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Ruby Red and Old Olive.

Be sure to look at page 163 in the catalog to see the wall art Stampin' Up! created using Storybook Specialty DSP.  LOVE IT!  I can picture this in my sons bedroom. 

NOTE TO SELF:  Convince husband (a master at coloring) to help me complete this project for our rockin' guy!
